This is an adapted recipe from Bon Appetit. The dressing is packed with intense flavors, so only a limited amount of sesame oil is necessary. **NOTE: The last time I made this, I toasted 3 tbsp. of sesame seeds and sprinkled them over the servings - delish! Read more Just put your sesame seeds into a dry, heavy saute pan over medium-high heat and let them toast for about 3-5 minutes. Keep an eye on them and flip them around during the toasting time. The smell is amazing and adds a real depth of flavor to the seeds. See less
